Ass Lifted - Changing Rear Light

After owning the car more than 6 years, I'm looking for something that can freshen up some bit; or in simpler word, change some parts to have a different look. This PROMOTE rear light design was back from early 2000, only this one the inner frame has been blackened to give that ganas look. Although more recently most aftermarket lights has a growing range of LED style rear lights for cars but unfortunately this light still utilizing conventional bulbs. I guess there isn't much choice specifically for Satria until now.


Installation is easy, in fact a lot easier than I thought. A day before I purchased this light, I was helping my colleague to replace the rear light on the '08 Vios; and that wasn't any easy. Everything seems too tight to open, too small to grip and too expensive to fool around. Maybe that's an advantage when dealing with cheaper and older Protons. Somehow we tend to not feel 'guilty' to mess around compared when dealing with other 'superior' brand car. There were 4 bolts holding the lamp base to the body frame and unbolting them took less than 2 minutes.

Installing the new lamps were also as easy as dismantling the old one. All wiring sockets are snap-fit with each other. The best part is, the lamps came complete with bulbs. Since I've got my car ass-lifted, maybe to get those BMW-wannabe eagle eye should be next on my list. Or maybe, just the plain blackened frame headlamp; like those Wira's/Satria's SE. Or maybe, just get some decent fog lights and blast a 6000k HID kit through it. Or maybe (the list goes on .. and on..)
